 And then he recounted what had taken place at that temple of justice, and wound up by asking my young friends advice.

Hints to Housekeepers.
Boston Budget.


 Butter and eggs for cake should al- ways be beaten to cream.
 Clean stoves when cold with any stove polish mixed with alum water.
 Set dish of water in the oven with cake when baking and it will seldom scorch.
 Moths can be kept out of garments by wrapping them in soiled colored calico.
 It is said that snuffing powdered borax up the nostrils will cure a ca tarrhal cold.
 You can take out spots from wash goods by rubbing them with the yolks of eggs before washing.
 The lustre of morocco may be re- stored by vanishing with the white of an egg. Apply with sponge.
 A rich gloss can be put on glass by rubbing it quickly with newspaper : dry or wet whiting will give bril- liant polish to glass.
 Lemon juice and sugar, mixed very thick, is useful to relieve coughs and sore throats. It must be very acid as well as sweet.
 In sweeping carpets use wet news papers wrung nearly dry and torn in pieces. The paper collects the dust and does not soil the carpet.
 When the nose threatens to bleed excessively, it can sometimes be ar rested by putting the feet into hot water, or by applying a mustard plaster between the shoulders.
 To apply mustard plaster so as not to blister the skin, mix the mustard with the white of an egg instead of water. The plaster will draw thor oughly without blistcring the most delicate skin.
 For a cough, boil together a half cup of molasses and butter the size of hickory nut; squeeze into this the juice of one lemon. This is a simple and often an efficient remedy for an ordinary cough.
 To boil pudding in bag, dip bag (which should be made of thick cot ton or linen) in hot water and rub the inside with flour before putting in the pudding; when done dip the bag in cold water and the pudding will turn out easily. Always put a plate on the bottom of the kettle to keep the pudding from burning.
 The surest and most practical way of not having milk scorched is to scald it in double boiler, or tin that sets in kettle of boiling water. The wetting of kettle with cold water and allowing it to remain few min- utes before putting the milk in will lessen the danger of scorching the milk.
 When linen has turned yellow, cut up pound of fine white soap into a gallon of milk and hang it over fire in wash kettle. When the soap has completely melted, put in the linen and boil it half an hour; then take it out. Have ready lather of soap and water; wash the linen in it, and then rinse it through two cold waters, with a very little blue in the last.

Wrong Nancy BTOWQ).

The applicant, a dejected- looking man, whose age might have been thirty, and who had wooden leg, sought advice of the magistrates clerk as to how he should proceed to obtain judicial separation from his wife, with whom he found it impossible to live with anything like peace and comfort. ''ln fact, sir" he remarked, despondently, "my life is that wretched that would sooner be dead than alive, and if cannot be relieved of her shall be tempted to put an end to my existence"
 "What is amiss between you?" the clerk inquired. Hs your wife q drunken woman?"
 "Oh, Tor, no, not in the least," re- turned the unhappy husband. q would rather she was slightly in clined that way, it would make her a little more amiablc. perhaps"
 Well, is she tiirt?"
 "Why, there you are again! A flirt, indeed, l should rather think not. Why, she's sixty if she's day"
 The worthy magistrate had not yet arrived, but the court was full, and as complainant uttered these last words, female was seen to elbow her way to the front of the crowd that occu- pied the inclosed space devoted to the public. She was tall, with severe aspect, and of bony and muscular build.
 Don't you tell lies, you shabby fell low !" she exclaimed scornfully. "You didn't reckon on finding me here. Now give my age as sixty before my face, if you darew
 The husband, who evidently had not expected to be confronted with his termagant partner, was considera- bly, taken aback, but turning from her he resolutely repeated his application "My life, sir" said he, with emotion and addressing the clerk, lis one un- limited persecution! She may not be quite as old as have stated, but she is strong, and as tough as whalebone, She knocks me about, sir. Put me on my oath, and am ready to swear to it. She thinks no more of giving me crack with her fist, or with the first thing that comes handiest than if was a boy and she was my mother p'
 "Oh, be off; be off, and don't come here with such a nonsensical story, ? exclaimed the clerk impatiently. 'Ii your wife serves you as you say, the greater stupid you to allow her to do it. You are big enough, surely"
 ''Then cannot claim a separation from her on account of cruelty?n
 "Certainly not"
 "Then," continued the desperate husband, "what as to false imprison. ment? Can't demand to be allowed to live apart from her on that ac- count?"
 "You did not mention that before What do you mean?"
 "Why, this, sir--and there sht stands, and let her deny it if she can she makes me prisoner in my ow1 house against my will. I am tailol by trade, and it is inconvenient for m, to sit on the board with my woode1 leg on. l am obliged to take it of when l am at work, and then she rob, me of it."

Prof. Feelabout could read our character, he could, indeed; All bumps upon the head he knew, And from them calculations drew, The salient points he never missed, He was n wise phrenologist.
 He had a store with casts displayed Of murderers' heads in rows arraycd, With labels on to indicate The bumps that lured them to their fate. Statesman, poet, lawyer, thief, Each stood out in bold relief, Shelf on shelf and bust by bust, All the best and all the "wust" Charts and wise deineations Of heads of men of different nations, Numbered in sections with key showing what each one ought to be, If this showed wisdom, 1 insist

I'm very glad that you have come; Step in, my friend, and sit you down, Whilst l manipulate your crown; A casual look proclaIms your fate To be the greatest of the great" The stranger-ne'er a word spake he stepped in and paid the usual fee, Sat down and waited with Il grin For the professor to begin. Commencing then the wise men read The surface of the strangers head From point to point his fingers strayed, And lavish compliments he paid, He had no bad points on his list, He was wise phrcnologist Towards the close, whilst here and there He searched amongst the strangers hair His ever active digits found

A dispatch from Denver says: There have been several mysterious and se- cret meetings of prominent cattlemen in both Colorado and New Mexico,
 during the past ten days, and it is ru- mored here that the purpose of these meetings has been to organize com pany to be known as the American Cattle Trust Company, the object of which will be to fight the Armour dressed beef syndicate of Chicago. The new syndicate includes Nelse Morris of Chicago and many of the wealthiest cattle owners of Colorado, New Mexico and western Kansas. It IS claimed they have paid up capi. tai of S25, 1000, 900.

The business interests of this con- tinent has been extended in series of circles, smaller circles being formed as the necessity arises, out of larger ones. At the beginning of this century these circles environed points of supply which could be counted on your fin
 gers: New York, Boston, Philadel- phia, New Orleans, St. Louis and San Francisco, and they were all told. St. Louis did all the mid-contlnental trade, then Chicago sprang up and took away all the northern part of it. Westward, Kansas City grew and ap- propriated a section for itself. With in the last ten years Denver has be- come point of supply for the bulk of the Central Rocky Mountain re- zion aud divided the southwestern business with Kansas City until Albu- querque loomed up and asserted her claim to be the supply point for New Mexico and Arizona, and to-day it is probably doing as heavy business as any town of its size on the whole con tinent.

 THERE has been greal deal of loose talk lately concerning President Cleveland's intentions regarding seek. ing or accepting the nomination for a second term. The following para graph from his letter of acceptance ought to throw some light on his opinion about second terms:
 "No means tending to the full realization of form of government by the reoE would be more effective than an amendment to the constitution disqualilying the Presi. dent or reelection We recognize in the eligibility of the Pres ident for reelection a most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize a government by the people"
 If Mir. Cleveland lives up to this opinion, he certainly will not seek reelection, and he ought to refuse to accept the nomination from his party.
